Metaversum, developer of Twinity, the virtual world made of real people and real places, is adding new areas to Virtual London on 30 April. From the interiors of St Paul’s Cathedral, a live show from ‘Dimitri from Paris’ to a weekend full of events, there will be something for everybody in Virtual London.

After being expanded so many times, Twinity might deserve a test
drive from Maxping staff. Unless one of our readers is willing to
help us here?
It is interesting to see how real world model works in a virtual
setting. Usually copies do not work well, but they have certain
value - they are already familiar for many, and real world
businesses in that area become potential customers for
Twinity.
For mixed reality applications, this is a very much needed
infrastructure. Now it should be possible to mix virtual and real
together in an interesting way.
To the press release:
After successfully expanding Central London to areas including
the Buckingham Palace and the London Eye, Twinity, the
virtual world made of real people and real places, is expanding
once more to bring in the majestic Strand and the vibrant South
Bank to Virtual London's members and entrepreneurs.
From 30 April on Twinity members will be able to walk from the
west end of London along The Strand, among some of the most famous
theatres right up to the Millennium Bridge, on to the South Bank to
the Shakespeare's globe, the brick work Tate modern building and
back to the Waterloo Bridge.
As a special attraction the entire interior of the St Paul's
Cathedral will be made available, enabling all members to view the
great dome with all its artwork from the inside. The model will
also have reproduction of all the areas, artwork and sculptures
present in the Cathedral.
To celebrate this launch there will be a 30 minute live
performance by DJ 'Dimitri from Paris' in Virtual London. Known for
broadcasting the first ever house music show in France and for
producing runway tracks for Chanel, Jean-Paul Gaultier, to name a
few, Dimitri will be showcasing tracks from his upcoming album 'Get
Down with the Philly sound'. Twinity users will get a taste of the
album before it's launched to the world.
Twinity will also have a special offer: 5 entrepreneurs or
residents based in and around the newly launched areas can win
their virtual office, store or apartment at the same address in
Virtual London! Real residents should just send their name and real
address to london@twinity.com. Of course, these new areas in
Virtual London are also open for business: opening a shop, gallery,
music venue, bar or restaurant has never had hipper venues in
Virtual London.
